The M weighs 5600lbs stock. My Farmall M (which I recently bought and towed home)is 88" wide from the outside of the wheels at a minimum. The trailer you are looking at is 82" wide between the fender wells therefor the M will not fit between the axles, and you will not be able to pull the tractor far enough forward to get a well balanced load (10% tongue weight). RustyFarmall is right, he tried to tell me the same thing and I still tried to load it not once but twice on two different trailors that were not wide enough. I made two wasted trips 40 miles one way before I made my third trip this time I had another old iron enthusiasist haul it for me on a 8 1/2'X 40' gooseneck deck over, that had the center ramp. You NEED a deck over trailor or at least 8ft wide between the fenders. Remember to add the weight of the tractor & the weight of the trailor plus anything your hauling in your truck including you to get your GCWR, If your truck can pull 8,000lbs trailor weight then that leaves 2400lbs of weight for the trailor, you, family/friends, and gear.
